About Suwayomi-Server

Suwayomi-Server is a rewrite of the Tachiyomi manga reader for the desktop. It runs as a server and uses Tachiyomi-compatible extensions as sources, so a reading library can be kept on your own machine rather than on a phone.

The server is paired with separate Suwayomi client projects for the reading interface. It is built with Kotlin and Gradle, includes an Android compatibility layer for running the extensions, and publishes both stable and preview builds.

Strengths

  • Works with Tachiyomi-compatible extensions
  • Keeps a manga library on your own server
  • Stable and preview builds available

Limitations

  • Needs a separate client for the reading interface
  • Aimed at users comfortable running a server
